List Work - Helpful Hints
Recently
moved? Never received a class reunion invitation? It might be
because your class reunion committee can’t find you. Send your
address to the Alumni Association and we’ll make sure your class
list is up to date.

Steps for
Reunion Committees
Successful
reunions depend on getting the word out to as many classmates as
possible. Put the time into researching and updating your
class list. It will be worth it!
1.
Contact the Alumni Association for a copy
of your most recent class list on file. Available in Microsoft
Excel, hardcopy form, or mailing labels.
2. Check the list supplied by the Alumni
Association against your Yearbook. Add names of anyone missing.
3. Divide
the list among committee members to find missing addresses.
Research by calling matching names in the telephone book,
parents or other classmates. Facebook and MySpace are great
tools for spreading the word and finding others. Some other internet tools:
www.switchboard.com
www.whitepages.com
4. Send changes to Alumni Association for
list updating. (We can generate address labels for your mailings, if needed.)
5. Add any
current teachers you’d like to invite to
your reunion. c/o Deering High School, 370 Stevens Ave., Portland,
ME 04103.
6. Notify the Alumni Association as soon as
you have a reunion date and details. The Association maintains a
web site and is recognized by the school as the official contact for
reunion
inquiries.
7. Considering
a giveaway for each reunion attendee? Contact Prudence Bean at
Ocean Promotions 207-749-3142
prudence@oceanspromotions.com
for some wonderful ideas. See
the "School Store" page for details.
The Deering High School Alumni
Association is here to help. Our board members have years of

and always worth the effort.
